'BULLET HOLE' IN ISS SOLAR PANEL: Space station commander Chris Hadfield has photographed a hole in one of the ISS solar panels. "Bullet hole - a small stone from the universe went through our solar array," he tweeted from orbit. "Glad it missed the hull." Look for the puncture in this image straight from the ISS ( Source: http://www.spaceweather.com )
WHY are they reporting this ?? Were there "more" stones than they're reporting on ??? What "else" is our "Blue Star Kachina" dragging in with it ???
Remember what I keep predicting folks.. A Rockstorm from space VERY VERY soon... SHELDON

Implosion would be what would happen to a submarine with the force of the water crushing its hull like a tin can. With a spacecraft it would be the opposite, it would explode or just vent atmosphere into the vacuum. As far as I know, a small hole in the hull like this solar panel would set off a low pressure alarm. The MIR space station sustained a gash in one of the modules and the crew had to seal it off by closing a hatch. If I'm not mistaken, the ISS also had a small pressure leak around a grip handle used by the crew to maneuver around the station.
What happens if one breaches the hull?
